Will Tesamorellin or Sermorellin actually do anything to gain you muscle?

[USMogger672]

My friend is too scared to take steroids but thinks he will get jacked over a year or two period on Tesamorellin or Sermorellin. He sent me some Andrew Huberman video on it. Has anyone ever tried these? What were your results? It was my understanding they are only really for anti aging.

I am not familiar with HGH I just know top bodybuilders take it. Will taking HGH alone do anything for muscle gain? Seems you have to take a high amount.

some, more pronounced after been working out for years and aren't gaining weight, among other things... def not worth it if ur under 35.. will elevate blood sugar(which is bad for u) allow cancer to grow faster etc etc.

tell ur friend to work out and lay off the aids medication.

they are actually PRO aging, ur skin will look better but more hgh /igf means u die sooner.. why big dogs die sooner and small humans are 100yo.

No. If he’s hoping to get GH like effects from either then he will be disappointed.

Your question was will it do anything.

It reduces fat, increases muscle density and lean muscle mass. And that's without changes to diet or exercise.

It's much slower than GH, but doesn't increase insulin resistance, isn't as likely to cause sides, and usually keeps IGF within the physiologic range.

So it's a slower, safer, easier to use compound that provides similar benefits to GH but can't provide the same level of results. It doesn't expose the user to the same risks, either.

Another interesting property is that natural GH production seems to stay elevated for a while even after stopping use.
